Octopus Energy started with a bold idea: to build Britain’s first truly digital energy supplier. 

By combining world-class tech with brilliant humans who care deeply about customers and driving the renewable energy transition, we made it happen and in 2025, we became Britain’s largest energy supplier.

Now, we’re scaling fast and building the next generation of products to accelerate the green energy transition. From making it effortless to switch to heat pumps, solar and EVs, to launching smart tariffs and creating renewable generation at scale, we’re solving some of the most complex challenges in energy with speed, creativity and customer obsession. We’re also enabling our global businesses to reach the full capability of what we’ve achieved in the UK, taking the learnings, products and experiences that customers love here and rolling them out worldwide.

At Octopus Tech, you’ll have real ownership, variety, and the chance to shape products that make a tangible difference in people’s lives - lowering bills, enabling greener living, and delivering experiences customers genuinely love. You’ll work side by side with teams across marketing, operations, and data, and see the impact of your work in the real world, fast.

We are looking for Backend Engineers (mid level) to join our Devices team and Low Carbon Tech team.

Devices: Since launching our first piece of hardware, Home Mini, in 2022, followed by Cosy Heat Pumps in 2023 and the Charge EV Charger in 2025, we have continued to expand our portfolio of devices, helping customers make the green energy transition.

You'll join a cross-functional team of backend and mobile engineers, working closely with our hardware team to extend and improve integrations for both existing and new devices in the Octopus Energy app. This includes the recently announced Nook family of home batteries, with more exciting products already in the pipeline. If you want to design and build solutions that scale low-carbon technology in homes across the UK, this is the mission for you.

Low Carbon Tech:  Low Carbon Tech are installing EV Chargers, Solar, Batteries and Heat Pumps into homes to drive the energy transition at pace. As customer demand grows, our goal is to ensure scaling up never means slowing down or compromising on a world-class customer journey for low carbon tech. 

To make that happen, we are building a new, dedicated engineering and product team to completely re-imagine this process - making it fast, transparent, and predictable for our customers from day one. This will be a small multi-disciplinary team who’ll sit within our much bigger low carbon tech team.

You’ll help design and build the platform architecture, data integrations, and automations that eliminate real world friction. If you want to design and build solutions to scale up electrotech in the nation’s homes, this is the mission for you.

We embrace flat hierarchies and an open, agile culture that fosters innovation, flexibility, and creativity. 

We don’t hang our personalities up with our coats and nor should you. At Octopus, we hire great people who get stuff done, all whilst being themselves.

If this sounds exciting, we’d love to chat.
